Being back in the 1860's Rosa Parks must have realy old when she died, wait they didn't have busses in the 1800's. SO ..........wait I forming a conclusion........ah yes, your both wrong. Black people couldn't vote, ride up front on busses, had to drink out of other water fountians, and yes ...couldn't go to school until the 1960's (nighteen sixty)
Walt it would really help if you could post some conclusion, and it would give some credibality to your post. So go on....... explain it. Why aren't most of the black people in New Orleans, and the rest of the south highly educated, rich and never received a goverment check. I'm realy interested in your answer, and while your at it could you please tell us your solution on fixing the problem.

Why? I don't know.
Whose fault is it? Who cares. It's irrelevant.
Whose responsibility is it? Personally, I'm thinking the individual has a lot to do with the direction his or her life takes by the choices made.
Solution? Everyone has the solution within himself or herself. To take a bunch of individuals and lump them into a "born to lose" category like you have done is, in my view, a large part of the problem. Making excuses for people doesn't solve anything as far as I can tell.
It's ludicrous to expect high performance out of people when you put such low expectations on them.
Both of my parents came from very poor upbringings--one from the deep south (Louisiana), the other from North Dakota. Neither of them made it past high school.
They didn't think their childhoods gave me any excuses, though. They expected me to at least try to do something with my life.
So what is so very different about black people that the same "rules" don't apply to them?

................, yes, let's just all forget... certainly has nothing to do with the way america is now... most certainly isn't part of american heritage and culture... lets forget why there are black people even in america.

R u kidding me!?!?!, fuck breaking your post down..... do you honestly think any man would make the WRONG choice on purpose??? Realize, America systematically PRODUCES based on geography... from doctors to engineers to drug dealers and prostitutes.. It's a system thats WORKING!!! financially and globally, it's what secures your so-called "freedoms", our new administration is very new from previous methods and models generated by past presidential parties... which most certainly doesn't cater to just middle-american intrests anymore... Im rambling now...
your whole poor boy adventuring on his own growing up to lead the way sounds like some hollywood, story book bs.... granted it has happened, it is very rare, (news flash: not everyone accomplishes his/her dreams).

That's a really arrogant statement. If you think you have the definitive answer, then let's hear it. I'm going to step out on a limb here and speculate that your view is something that we've all heard 5 zillion times before and has had zero effect.

Or better still, let's do like you want and live in the past. Let's let the past be a sound reason for carrying on the hate and resentment for the next 1000 years.

Yes, I DO think people make wrong choices on purpose. I think every time someone ingests drugs or alcohol they are making a wrong choice on purpose.
I think if someone drops out of school not for financial reasons, but because they are bored, they are quite likely making a wrong choice on purpose.
I think there are quite a few examples, but you get my point. I have made a shitload of stupid choices, but it is very clear in my mind who was responsible for that--me. Why is anyone else different?

I did not grow up poor--my parents did. The point was they didn't let their childhoods be used as an excuse for my lack of motivation or effort.
And BTW, I think as soon as ALL Americans realize that what is going on today is class warfare instead of racism, then we'll be able to do something about it.

At the White House level, I think that is true.

5 zillion times means that it most likely pointing to truth, and I would call affirmitive action "affect"....

first off, I don't hate... not people anyway, if I sound discerning, don't mind it... its just how I am. secondly I don't use slavery as a tool for revenge or animosity.. but I am not just going to be like, 'oh well'... I have my own personal convictions which I am entitled to.., mostly tward people who hate black people based solely on the reason that they're black.. (oh yeah, they exist), and the hate didn't get here by itself... however I am unscathed by racial hatred... because it's silly, inane, and vulgar.. and and I CHOOSE not to deal with the immaturity.

drug addiction and alcoholism are ADDICTIONS... just as smoking is... all of which is highly regulated and distributed within our culture... for PROFIT!!! dare I say 'control method'... or maybe everyone is so illiterate that they can't read the warning labels printed on EVERY SINGLE PACK of cigarettes literally telling them they are going to die if they smoke the contents. Maybe smoking is the right choice, no? perhaps the right way would be to die.... no?
for people dropping out of school because they're bored.... we'll that is just ridculous... why is school boring? school should be exiciting... school should be exhilirating.. I mean come on, your learning right?.. inner city programs and poor cities cannot provide the funding used for such stimulation... they can barely afford ample and up to date reading and writing material, let alone a teacher that can perform....
of course they're going to drop out... it's a waste of time.. I would personally like to be out selling drugs making money, or turning tricks, making money, in other words learning.... (stimulative learning).. if I was in that position anyway... that is until it's time for me to goto prison...

we'll at least we can agree on that..., hey, we voted for the government that teaches people to spend money... they've gone as far as to program viable ones to spend money they don't have... lol! so then chief,... it's seems we are in transition then... as racial warfare graduates to social warefare... sorry, sorry... class warefare. As long as your government interprets citizens as consumers your fighting a lost battle... basically you make money... you spend it, and you get taxed for it... and with that, take a glance at the taxation brackets... and tell me... who you think is going to come out on top. Slavery ain't no forget and forgive shit..., but I refuse to have history repeat itself... no matter which side I come out on...
